Quick-Braised Carrots with Toasted Cumin Recipe

  • 3 carrots
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Safeway SELECT Verdi Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons chopped Italian parsley
  1. Rinse carrots, peel, cut into 2- to 21/2-inch lengths, then cut each piece into 1/4-inch-thick sticks.
  2. In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium heat, stir cumin seed until fragrant, about 2 minutes; pour into a small bowl.
  3. Melt butter with oil in the pan over medium heat. Add carrots and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add cumin, broth, and lemon juice to carrots. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender-crisp to bite and liquid has evaporated, 5 to 6 minutes.
  5. Pour carrots onto a platter or spoon onto plates, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
